Even if she were to increase her strength to the level of Madara Uchiha or Accelerator... she still wouldn't be able to do something like that, would she?!
“Of course I was just joking,” Aizen chuckled. “There are other ways, such as sending Yamamoto to that world! Putting him and his Zanpakuto into the center of the sun might just revitalize it.”
"..." Sawada Tsunayoshi's lips twitched almost imperceptibly a few times. He hesitated for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Aizen-san is joking, right? It's just a pity that this lame joke isn't very funny."
"However, his jokes also conceal his true thoughts," Rukia Kuchiki said coldly, "thoughts that are dangerous to the extreme."
"Is it because Captain-Commander Yamamoto recently rejected a small portion of your proposals that you seem to be unhappy with him? Are you planning to kill him?"
"I don't think that way! That old man is a bit annoying, but... if used well, he can be a very useful weapon." Aizen shrugged, somewhat bored.
After watching the story of Starfall, even though he clearly had no romantic feelings for anyone, the guys in the council still liked to fill in the blanks for him... things he actually had no intention of doing. It really left Aizen at a loss for words.
"It seems that the matter of igniting the sun is not going to happen for the time being." Liu Peiqiang gave a wry smile. "However, I have completed the initial technological exchanges with Batman and Iron Man. Next, we will cooperate with the Yanhuang government on our side."
"...Have you thought it through?" Aizen's expression was somewhat peculiar.
“I am a Yanhuang person! I have been one all my life… and now that we’re at a critical juncture of life and death, there’s no point in hiding it.” Liu Peiqiang gave a bitter smile.
What Aizen said earlier did seem to make some sense at first glance... but when he thought about it later, he wondered if he couldn't become stronger by cooperating with the government and relying on the council? That was obviously impossible.
Moreover, although the timeline calculated using the star charts in the story suggests that the Wandering Earth project will officially begin some time from now...
But ultimately, this period of time is also limited and cannot be wasted.

Chapter 517 Yato's Shattered Worldview? A God Transcending the Concept of World!
"That's true," Conan nodded. "Placing all our hopes on the parliament isn't a good thing."
"In case the council didn't include anyone related to the sun when your sun exploded... then your technology tree is advanced enough that you can at least guarantee a 100% escape from the solar system."
“Actually, if two people in the council were willing to step in, perhaps the problem with The Wandering Earth could be resolved today,” Tony Stark added quietly.
A brief silence fell over the scene. Conan glanced at Su Han first, then fixed his gaze on Number Ten. The Speaker of the Council might possess such abilities, but he would never actually intervene… but Number Ten was a different story.
As always, Number Ten remained silent, calm, and aloof.
"It seems this path is blocked." The Drunken Sword Immortal raised his eyebrows.
"Of course." Liu Peiqiang rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache, but he wasn't too disappointed. He had already prepared himself mentally before Tony Stark asked.
"And what about Yato?" Tu Shan Honghong suddenly asked.
"Huh... Ah!" Yato paused for a moment, then looked around and realized that the council members were all staring at him. He then realized they were talking about him. He touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly. "My side is still the same as always."
"I've always been a god who just loafs around and waits to die! Right now, at most, I'm just thinking about cultivating the special energy within the Cultivation Council, right?"
"Oh, right," Yato suddenly remembered something, and an excited look appeared on his face, "Everyone... this council is incredibly strong."
"I've discovered that even if I don't build a shrine or get remembered in the real world, I won't disappear. This is simply... against the very mechanism of our divine existence."
At this point, Yato's joy faded, replaced by a complex expression. While this was certainly a good thing for him, it had shaken his worldview.
After all, this is tantamount to telling him that his previous common sense was wrong.
“That’s normal.” Bruce Wayne nodded slightly, his voice low. “After all, the moment you joined the Council, you transcended your world! The laws and concepts of your world can no longer influence or interfere with you.”
"A god who will vanish when forgotten... Hmph, if one's power does not belong to oneself, there are bound to be problems." Luo Cuilian said coldly.
"Moreover, I've been cultivating all sorts of mysterious powers lately!" Ignoring Luo Cuilian's hostility, Yato stretched out his arm, covered with dark Armament Haki. "I discussed it with Grandpa Edward, and after training in that so-called Cultivation Month for more than half a year, I've condensed this thing."
"This is completely unexpected... that someone like me can actually cultivate the power that humans cultivate in other worlds."
Yato is a god. Although he has a similar appearance to a human, his essence is completely different. Just as humans cannot possess the power of gods or use divine artifacts, he should also be unable to cultivate human techniques.
Of course, Yato remembered what Bruce Wayne had said about transcending the laws of the world, and he could understand this. He shook his head and didn't say anything more.
Su Han raised his eyebrows, his mind racing. He decided to have Number Ten speak, "Xiao Yu, did you say yesterday that today would be the formal day for the sacrifice to Heaven?"
“…Of course.” Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded quickly. Before, Xiaoyu had been a little hesitant about whether to join the conversation when she saw the guild members discussing so enthusiastically, but now that Number Ten had spoken, she naturally took over.
Su Han thought for a moment, then decided to speak up himself, "So, who is willing to participate in this council mission?"
“Since this concerns the Little Jade World, I should naturally be included,” Gu Xun’er said frankly.
Rick was somewhat tempted, but after thinking about how he hadn't been of much help last time, his lips twitched, and he ultimately gave up.
“Let’s add the old Taoist priest,” Zhang Sanfeng said softly. “The old Taoist priest’s cultivation has already reached the final stage. If he encounters an opportunity this time, he might be able to break through to the level of Uchiha Madara or Accelerator.”
“Then I’ll go too.” Madara Uchiha said coldly, “My strength is also stuck at the current level, and I need a council mission to improve it.”
Ancient One glanced at Madara Chiha and said bluntly, "Mr. Madara, it's normal that your strength hasn't improved recently. It would be strange if it improved by leaps and bounds."
"The later the stage, the more difficult it is to make progress. This is an unchanging truth in the endless universe... Not to mention, after a rapid improvement in strength, one should stay in the council for a period of time to consolidate one's power and learn to understand the laws and concepts that should be mastered at this stage."
"Simply pursuing increased strength may lead to disastrous consequences later on."
In fact, many powerful members of the council could participate in missions continuously, since the council chairman has not imposed any restrictions on this... and there is no limit on the number of people participating in a mission at a time.
However, many people realized that the parliament had given them a huge boost in power.
Therefore, when faced with a parliamentary mission that could quickly enhance their strength, they need to restrain their greed... and try to digest the gains from the previous mission before participating in the next one.
Of course, this also follows Zhang Sanfeng's words to some extent... giving more opportunities to the slightly weaker members of the council.
"I've already digested what I gained last time." Madara Uchiha showed an ambiguous expression, and touched his eyes. "These eyes, with their ability to analyze and interpret power, make me completely different from you."
